from Xingyuan

Chapter 1062 277. Void Line: Leading to the Ending of [White Wolf] (2)

"You broke your promise, Earthman."

[Player] Prior raised his head, and Leanding crossed the gap of time and space in an instant and came in front of him. He was slightly bent over and leaning forward. His attitude looked like a child who was caught eating candy. No matter how softly he spoke, it was full of indescribable oppression to the person involved.

"Your Majesty Leanding, I can say responsibly that I have tried my best to stop Leoz. It is the power of Lord Entropy and those Origin Species that can only do this. If it weren't for their insufficient support..."

Prior wanted to explain, but Leanding interrupted him rudely:

"This is not a question you should consider. The task I assigned is very clear: let that usurper voluntarily give up getting involved in the struggle in Xingyuan. The Origin species also think so. They need a world without the threat of Astrara, and I need an Origin without competitors, so we can form an alliance."

"But you have to understand that the Origin Race doesn't care who rules the Origin. They simply can't create an ending that can truly satisfy Rioz."

Prior considered his words and said:

"Actually, the situation is not that bad, Your Majesty. At least, we still have two chances to try to get Rioz to withdraw voluntarily..."

"Putting your hopes on the enemy's mistakes is not going to convince anyone other than yourself."

"So, Your Majesty Leanding, do you regard Leoz as an enemy?"

"enemy?"

Leanding tilted his head slightly:
"Is he worthy?"

"…Can you please say that again?"

"Cannon fodder god 10752, in terms of specifications, belongs to the third generation of god warrior sequence. I carefully forged it, specially prepared to adapt to the battlefield environment where [Dominant Will] Mephidria is located. The bodies of the Fine Art Gods have three kinds of arcane energy built in. After being burned by the fire of chaos, they have no emotions, will not retreat, and are always steadfast."

"What the hell is Leoz? I can see through him at a glance."

"You must have made a mistake, Mr. Prior. I asked you to convince Leoze, not because I was afraid of fighting Leoze."

"I just couldn't bear to start the Great Star Abyss War, and couldn't bear to see the lives of the people being destroyed and the flesh and blood being torn apart."

"I am soft-hearted and cannot bear to see suffering. What kind of suffering is it for the warriors who descended upon the Abyss of Stars? They just need to concentrate on killing and die peacefully. But I will sit on the wasteland of the Abyss of Sources. Throughout history, I will have to endure the pain of witnessing death and annihilation over and over again."

"These cannon fodders, warriors, have only lost their lives. I am the creator of life. Xingyuan's will treats me like an assembly line in a factory. I numbly assemble my children and send them to fill the line. I watch them being buried in a foreign land - day after day, year after year!"

"I am also a mother. I am the mother of all things in this world. But when my compatriots went forward to kill the enemy, I was imprisoned in this cage called power. I was either giving birth or healing. Have I ever had my own life? Everything I have is dedicated to all living beings. Young girls praise me for giving them youth and beauty, but where is my youth? I gave birth to Xingyuan, but I have never given birth to myself!"

"Since I became the Lord, I have never been happy for a single day."

Lai Anding rarely makes such long speeches.

The reason he said these words today might be because of his disappointment at the failure of persuading others to surrender, but it might also be a brief outburst of catharsis from long-term repression.

Others would certainly not be able to understand Ryan's thinking, but Prior knew it very well.

Because no one could have imagined that Leanding, who was powerful, controlled almost the entire Yuanyuan clan, mastered the fate of the Six Abysses and Thirteen Narratives, and was one of the oldest main gods, was actually just a reproductive tool of Xingyuan's will.

"Lady, have you ever thought about resisting this fate?"

"In this endless abyss of stars, only death and class are insurmountable. Whether you are the Lord God or the lowly mortals at the bottom, everything is destined, and no one can escape the manipulation of fate. Even resisting fate itself is just a part of fate."

Le Anding said calmly:
"Even if I resisted, so what? I was created as a reproductive machine, just like those cannon fodder gods I created. I cannot resist fate, because this is the meaning of my existence. Similarly, I do not hate Leoz, but out of pity as a person who has experienced it, I persuade him to accept all this."

"The plan of Lord Entropy and the Origin Seed..."

"Those things are irrelevant. The old guys don't care who rules the Origin. To the Origin, three thousand Destroyers are not as harmful as one Astrara. When other Destroyers come, they will just tear everything down, clean it up, and restart the world. Then, the cycle will continue from generation to generation, and the universe will continue forever."

"But Astrara won't spoil them, right?"

"If it wasn't for Astrara, I wouldn't even look at Rioz."

Lai Anding stretched out his hand and gently brushed the hair on his forehead, speaking in a leisurely tone:
"Even now, there are still many hosts of Astrara, and he is not a big deal. I don't think that kid will eventually become Astrara - he is just a cannon fodder. How can he have the courage and talent to be chosen by Astrara at first sight among so many inheritances?"

"Is there any basis for this inference?"

"I know Leoz like a mother knows her child."

Leanding said casually:
"Since he cannot accept the outcome you prepared for him, it means that his ambitions are not limited to this. However, he has not shown any intention of surrendering to Astrara, which means that he still thinks he is not in a desperate situation."

"If you waver and hesitate, you will pay the price sooner or later."

"I know the composition of Leoz, and I also understand his thinking: as long as he is not pushed to the edge, Leoz will never regard us as enemies, so at this time, I need to introduce [society] and let Leoz fight against the earthlings."

Prior was silent for a moment.

"…So what are your plans next?"

Prior said:

"No matter what, when we tried to persuade Leoz to surrender, we were already prepared to let Leoz see the truth about the Origin Seed."

"Lioz deleted my friend list, which may mean that he refuses to compromise. As for whether he will fight with us or turn around to attack Hidden, we need to observe..."

"It's not a big problem. Everything is going according to plan. Even if Leoz knew about Astrara, he wouldn't dare to threaten us with it. Rather, once we choose to disclose information about Astrara, Leoz would be an enemy of both the Xingyuan Universe and the Earth. Even his followers, no matter how fanatical they are, may not insist on following a pure world-destroying demon king."

Leanding said calmly:

"I will forgive your incompetence this time, Mr. Prior, but you have to understand that my patience is limited. If we cannot eliminate the interference of Astrara, Gaia will not stop infiltrating the Origin Abyss. And if Gaia's focus is not shifted to the Star Abyss, our unilateral pressure will be too great, and our control over the Star Abyss will also weaken."

Prior frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, Leanding."

他 说:

"Have you... seen the ending that Lord Entropy guided Li Oz to?"

"Of course I have seen it. Why? Without Xingyuan, Li Oz is just a mortal who has wasted 721 years of his life and done nothing. He can do nothing. As long as he still has a little compassion and love for the world in his heart, he will not turn to Astrara. It is because of this that I agree to your joining forces with Entropy Lord."

"Is... that so? In your opinion, Rioz is not a threat."

"I told you, if it wasn't for Astrara, I wouldn't even look at Rioz."

Prior opened his mouth, and the scene briefly flashed through his mind:
..............................

"Barbarism is a prerequisite for civilization. Civilization is a prerequisite for society."

"The people of Xingyuan are now facing the oppression and rule of two barbaric monsters that look different but are the same in nature. One is called Earth, and the other is called Yuanyuan."

"This is the conclusion I have come to after seven hundred years of continuous observation of this world through various channels and my personal experience."

"There is only one solution to change this situation..."

....................................

In that ending, Liozzi did not write down the solution.

What he was thinking and what the solution was - these were things that not only Leanding and Prior, but even the Lord of Entropy who created the ending, could not know.

In fact, what would it matter even if we knew?
Leanding doesn't care about these. He holds great power and has the manpower of more than one billion players, as well as the support of plug-in players. As long as he continues to carry out the plan, Gaia will shift its focus from the long-impenetrable Source Abyss to other more valuable and disunited Star Abysses.

"Xingyuan" is theirs, and Xingyuan is also theirs.

This is the real reason why Lai Anding is invincible.

In a sense, this can be called a case of driving away the wolf and swallowing the tiger.

Logically, he shouldn't be worried about Leoz.

But the unwritten "there is only one solution" was like a nightmare that entangled his heart. Once it invaded, he could never let it go.

What did Li Oz write?
Can Leoz, who saw that scene at the ending, also feel the same way?

In other words, the solution that Leoz didn't write down has transcended time and space and taken root in Leoz's heart today?

Once he considered this, Prior could no longer remain silent. As a game designer, out of his love for the game "Star Abyss", he asked a question:
"What if, Lioz... Lioz, can seize the Star Abyss?"

He tried to think in reverse, imagining that Leoz would launch an attack based on his weakest link:

"If Lioz can win the trust of some players, enough for him to ascend to godhood in the Abyss, then are we facing Lioz or a main god of the [Domination] system?"

"No way."

"Let's not talk about it first. The server is on hold in Yuanyuan. How can "He" dive down here? The curse of Yuanyuan can only exempt the Lord God of Xingyuan. The rest of the people will be punished. The curse is so strong that even Gaia dare not bear it. Even if "He" carries the curse and comes down, he is just a lamb to be slaughtered. Lioz is not that stupid."

"Besides, what reason do players have to join Li Oz? We can give players enough benefits with just a little effort. Everything online and offline is under our control."

“Besides, who is Leoz? He is a cannon fodder without a godhood, a throne, or a kingdom. Even if Mephidria dies and his position is vacant, he can only be a god’s embracer at best. If he wants to become the main god of the Domination system, he must at least obtain the godhood of the main god.”

"And Xingyuan does have a few godheads at the level of the Lord God—but the only place where I can be sure of one is in me."

Leanding sneered:
"How could Leoz have the ability to dive all the way from the Abyss to the Source Abyss, kill him in front of me, and take away my godhood? To put it bluntly, even if I stay in the Source Abyss for my whole life, Leoz will not be able to get in. When he kills his way to the Dark Abyss, he will have to face Gaia who is guarding the gate of the Source Abyss."

"Since the war outside the abyss began, Leoz has never seen me, but I have always seen clearly what his background and abilities are. There is an order of superiority and inferiority, and the hierarchy is clear. This is the will of heaven, and no one can violate it."

Prior nodded.

What Lai Anding said was actually quite tactful.

The main god's godhead, in addition to Leanding, is in the hands of [Emperor of the Void] Voloid.

The position of the Emperor was to be passed on to Lord Dusk, whose divinity had been bestowed upon her long ago. The latter had been hunting down Solao Piarinus, the Source of the Heaven, to seize the throne of the Lord of Weirdness.

Now, we should be finding it soon.

Once the godhead and the throne are combined and paired with the path of the void, [Lord Huanghun] will be the seventh lord of the Star Abyss.

If Leoz intended to become the main god, he would either dive into the Abyss, defeat Gaia, and then bear the heavy curse and fight his way to Leanding - but this was obviously impossible.

Otherwise, he can only compete with [Lord Dusk] for the godhood and protect [Source of the Abyss] Solao Piarinus to avoid the emergence of the seventh god of the path.

But there is another problem here: as a deity of the [Domination] system, if Li Oz wants to become a deity, he needs at least 1 people who follow his same path.

"Only players are taking the path of [Star Dropper], [Pope], and [Bishop]. This is the route designed by Sides in the beginning. With official endorsement, Sides can easily gain a huge number of player fans. If he follows the steps, he can get the position of [Star Dropper]."

Now it seems that this decision was an excellent insurance policy.

Even though Sidse's system was taken away by Leoz and its whereabouts are unknown, the players are still under their control!
Li Oz, who followed the path of Star Descender, could not get enough followers. Even if he defeated Lord Dusk and seized the godhood, he was not qualified to become a god.

So Leanding can be sure, and Prior can also be sure.

Under this series of restrictions, Li Aoz could not accomplish anything.

To put it bluntly, Leoz has no chance of becoming the Lord God of Xingyuan.

Yes, there is no possibility.

The role of Li Oz had been analyzed long ago. His death was the biggest threat to the Yuanyuan regime, followed by the possibility of an Astral outbreak...

————"The people of Xingyuan are now facing the oppression and rule of two barbaric monsters that look different but are the same in nature. One is called Earth, and the other is called Yuanyuan."

The sentences that Li Oz was writing still appear before his eyes.

For some reason, Prior couldn't let it go.

He didn't know what kind of mentality Li Oz had towards the development of the world during those 700 years.

In Li Aozi's view, the victory of the Xingyuan people in resisting an aggressive war and the birth of his own daughter are the same thing.

At this time, Pryor, who is a Pole, remembered that there is an old saying in the East of the earth:
“If you are in a high position in government, you worry about the people; if you are far away in the countryside, you worry about your ruler.”

"Advance is worrying, retreat is worrying."

"Then when will you be happy? You must say:"

chap——

Li Oz tore up the documents in front of him and said calmly to the imperial envoy who came to negotiate:
"I appreciate the kindness of the Empire State, but I don't need it."

Di Yalan lowered her head and looked at the torn documents, she was a little confused.

This is different from what we agreed before.

The Imperial State told her that she should do a good job of persuading Li Aozi to become a naturalized citizen of the Imperial State. The process should be smooth, and the generous treatment would be enough for Li Aozi to live a carefree life until the end of time.

But even so, when they sat down to negotiate, Lioz didn't even look at the document and tore it up directly.

She looked at Li Oz and suddenly realized that the joy and excitement she had felt when she came here had disappeared after they actually met.

Li Oz didn't look at her with much attention, as if he was looking at a passerby.

This made her feel very strange, because they used to be classmates and colleagues, half comrades-in-arms, and acquaintances after all.

Why was there no trace of her in Li Aoz's eyes?

For some reason, she no longer had the same expectations for Li Oz as when she came here.

Instead... there is a feeling of boredom and indifference?
really weird.

She shook her head, looked at Li Oz, and reminded:

"Mr. Lioz, are you really not considering it anymore? This is a unique opportunity. A lifetime of luxury, a safe and comfortable life, and a status and privileges beyond the ordinary..."

"I have tasted enough pleasures. But I have never really experienced true happiness from material enjoyment. I have been thinking about where my happiness comes from. Now, I understand."

Li Aoz smiled slightly, then said lightly:

"Be anxious when the world is worried first, then be happy when the world is happy."

"My fellow lords of the Empire, we will meet again if we are destined to do so."

"Xu Shenqing, let's go."

He stood up and led Fu Shen and others away, leaving two people looking at each other in bewilderment.

"How should I put this?"

The envoy of the Empire smiled bitterly:
"The done thing has been blown, and the cooked duck can still fly away. No one will believe it if you tell them. Hey, Miss Di Yalan, why didn't you try to keep him? You two are acquaintances and friends, right? The prince even sent you here to carry out this mission, saying that you would be helpful. When you came, you kept talking about Li Oz, but why didn't you say anything after meeting him?"

"……I have no idea."

Di Yalan looked at the backs of Li Aoz and his group as they left, raised his hand and touched his heart, and said strangely:

"That long-awaited fire seems to have gone out, as if I no longer have the same excitement as before."

"What do you mean?"

"I feel that compared to dating, marrying and having children with a man, even someone like Li Oz, who I admire, doesn't seem to be anything special or remarkable."

As Di Yalan spoke, he untied the tie of his uniform, took out the Doctor's relic pendant, and gently stroked it, with a silvery luster in his eyes:

"I would rather fulfill my mission, which is the meaning of my existence."

The envoy of the Empire State hadn't understood what she meant, but he saw Di Yalan open the government affairs system on the terminal. After a while of operation, a line of characters appeared on the interface:
[Dear citizen, have you considered carefully and maturely before choosing to cancel your nationality? ]

[You have confirmed, countdown is 10 seconds, you can still withdraw before the countdown ends, 10, 9, 8...]

[You have permanently cancelled your nationality of "Qun Ying Empire". ]

pat.

Under the horrified gaze of the imperial envoy, Di Yalan untied the hairpin on her head, and her golden hair fluttered in the wind like a butterfly reborn from its cocoon.

Her gaze moved away from the backs of Li Aoz and the others, and did not linger on the people of the Empire State, but fell on the distant skyline of Jingyuan. It was as if she had passed through the mountains and landed directly on the battlefield where the hidden poisonous blood people and the soldiers and civilians of Jingyuan were fighting.

She smelled the ether in the air and saw the lives ravaged by the Earth's invaders. The land and rivers cried out the enemy's sins.

Someone has to step up.

Di Yalan was silent for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Yes, this is the life that truly belongs to me!"

As a dragon-dead weapon, what's wrong with slaughtering invaders without any emotion?
That was the last wish of the "Doctor" who created me, and it was also the meaning of my existence.

Marriage, love, and welfare benefits are not what she really needs.

The restraints on his body seemed to be released. Di Yalan rubbed his hands together, his eyes becoming increasingly cold and clear, and walked towards the other side of the mountain.

It was a path that ran in the opposite direction of Li Oz, but ended up in the same place.

"Wait a minute, Miss Di Yalan, where are you going?"

"Someone cried out for help, and I responded."

Di Yalan said lightly, leaving the imperial envoy looking depressed.

"How should I report this... I didn't bring the person back, and I even lost one."

....................................

Li Aozi, Fu Shen and others did not leave directly, but went around and after confirming that they were out of the scope of the narrative, they returned to the first-sequence town.

Silverston stood outside his studio, waiting for a long time. When he saw Li Oz return, he did not ask about the specific process, but said:

"Ryan Ding hasn't realized Rand Lord is dead yet, but it's only a matter of time."

Li Oz said: "The first-order town is running at full capacity, generating a time-space barrier. How long can it delay detection?"

"96 hours, and this will expose the existence of the first-order town, so I will go with you to avoid falling into Leanding's hands. I came to Xingyuan using the body created by Leanding, and then I can only let him do whatever he wants."

Silverston rubbed his wrist and said:

"Of course, to be on the safe side, we still have to find a way to get the latest version of the system equipped with the official plug-in of QiQa Network, so as to ensure that we will not be separated after diving into Zhouyuan."

"There are people from Leanding nearby."

Fu Shen looked at the forum post and said:

"It's Xu Kefu's three-man team... the new thugs under Lai Anding."

"Xu Kefu? This guy, like Sidse, is a fourth-generation divine warrior. Since he is Leanding's thug, he must have installed cheats."

Silverston touched his chin and looked at Fu Shen:

“Do you have faith?”

"Many players on the forum complained that these cheats can lock health and have unlimited energy, and their damage multipliers can be increased by themselves, which seriously interferes with the green play environment... But I am more afraid of being kicked offline by them."

Frowning deeply:

"The rest doesn't matter. Lord Leoz was able to take away Sidse's system. As long as we contain it and create an opportunity for Your Majesty, it will be fine. But if we force him offline, we won't even be able to touch him."

Li Aoz said calmly:

"Since you asked, Silverston, you are ready to deal with cheating players, right?"

"Of course we are prepared, but these little inventions are not just for fighting against cheating players."

Silverston smiled slightly, and the door of the studio behind him opened automatically. A fresh breeze blew towards him. In an instant, the hardened ground was covered with a thick meadow. Microorganisms grew rapidly, and weeds and vegetation grew fiercely. Endless vitality almost overflowed.

"Is this... the life force of the path of salvation? No, it's purer and more original than that."

Fu Shen's fingers gently stroked the spring breeze and said in surprise:
“No—this is fucking, could it be the authority of [Redemption]?”

"exactly."

Silverston led the two into the studio. He walked to the workbench surrounded by flowers. The two poisonous snakes were stimulated by His divinity and were frightened. They immediately coiled up and allowed Silverston to carefully search among the flowers, and finally picked them with force.

Snapped.

The pink-blue light like a wave filled the entire room almost instantly. Fu Shen subconsciously raised his hands to block in front of him. In a trance, he seemed to see a strange figure through his fingers.

A loving doe, she knelt in a reed bush, bending the reeds around her body. She lowered her head and gently licked the baby lying under her.

Fu Shen blinked.

The doe instantly turned into a crazy and hideous woman, with blood-sucking tubes stuck all over her body. The entire universe revolved around her and was constantly draining her life.

Maggots crawled all over her scarred body, gnawing at her flesh and blood. When they became fat and strong and their weight could no longer support their clinging body, they fell off the woman's body.

The maggot that fell to the ground transformed itself, its flesh and blood turned into porcelain, and jade bones grew in its body, and it became a majestic warrior of the gods.

"There is a reason why Leandin values ​​the evil bones... that is, Rand Lord."

Silverston turned around, holding a beating heart in both hands, and slowly walked to Lioz:

"[Heart of Redemption]."

"As the designated successor, Leanding sealed all his understanding of life and reproduction, all his divine power and might, in Rand Lord. Perhaps he thought that as time went by, he would slowly merge with Rand Lord, and eventually he would be able to successfully inherit Leanding's lifelong power and ascend to the throne of God."

"But in fact, I found that Rand Lord's life was being absorbed by this heart, which surprised me. After some investigation, I came to an absurd conclusion: Rand Lord's life essence is being eroded by the path of [Redemption]."

"If Rand Lord truly merges with this heart, then He will not become a new [Salvation Fairy], but a pure [Salvation] fruit will grow on His flesh and blood."

"And it is very likely that as long as Leanding eats this fruit, he will be able to recover to his peak state and continue to govern Yuanyuan - this is essentially no different from eating his own flesh and blood. Only with Leanding's carefully nurtured flesh and blood, Rand Lord can become a hotbed of excellence."

"The good news is that we have taken away the seeds of this fruit of the path, and we have also removed the soil that nurtures the fruit."

Silverston slowly removed his hands from under the heart, letting it float in the air, beating continuously. The pink-blue light distorted the entire space. From the perspective of Fu Shen who was standing by, it seemed that Li Oz, who was too close to the heart, was almost completely swallowed up by the pink-blue light.

"Now, he is at our disposal. By integrating it into our bodies, we can possess a portion of the power of the [Redemption Fairy] - only power, not godhood or status. But the good news is that the server of "Xingyuan" is built on Lai Anding."

"As you can imagine, once you obtain this part of power, not only will you have the power of the path of [Redemption], but you can also cut off a part of Leanding's server and use it for yourself."

"By then, you won't have to worry about being attacked by hackers or forced offline by the official, because it means that we have intercepted the Xingyuan server. Before Lai Anding takes the initiative to physically destroy this part, you are equivalent to half of the server administrator. Even if Lai Anding finds out, it won't affect it. By then-"

"By then, we will have already set up a private server!"

Deep in thought, I suddenly realized:

"I see. The real meaning of this heart is the control over the players! As long as the private servers are set up, we will be the new Qiqiao Network. As long as we provide benefits to the players, those players who can't stand the invasion of plug-ins will flock to it."

"At that time, we should not be the ones afraid of cheats, but cheats should be afraid of us! Without players on the server, cheats will have nowhere to be used even if they exist."

"This is truly a magical weapon that can turn the situation around!"

Compared to Fu Shen's excitement, Li Aozi seemed very calm.

He looked at the surface of the heart:

The porcelain surface had golden threads that resembled muscle fibers, but many places were not connected, just like a series circuit that was not properly connected, and it could not be used.

The location for pressurized delivery of divine power has not yet been built. Even if blood is delivered into it, it cannot generate enough power.

The interface seal was handled very well and perfectly, but the problem was that it was too perfect. It required a strong force to knock open the seal accurately before it could be connected to the body.

"Half-finished product."

Li Oz said:

"It's just one step away from becoming a mythical creature."

“I used my wisdom and skills to transform it and imprint the process blueprint into it. This is a complex structure—but to truly turn it into a mythical creation, I need to return to my abilities when I was the Lord of Plunder.”

Silverston looked at Lioz:
"You have the power of the Earthlings' Blacksmith. If it were you, you might be able to do it. In fact, I also hope that you can use your body to contain it—"

"Wait, let me do it!" Xu Shen said hurriedly: "Even if you are transformed, this power will still corrode your body. Sir Leoz still has to fight."

"No. This matter can only be done by Rioz. Even if it costs his life, he must bear the responsibility."

Silverston sternly refused:

"You don't understand at all...Erosion is not simply harm, but a manifestation."

"Manifestation?"

"Power comes from responsibility. The heavier the responsibility, the greater the power it will give."

Silverston looked at Lioz:
"After enduring this suffering, Lord Leoz is no longer the cannon fodder god he once was, but a god who can shoulder the life of the Origin Abyss God Clan."

"You will be eroded, and your body will be transformed by the path of Redemption. Every day, it will be broken and reshaped by the power of Redemption. The death and pain of every player and divine warrior who accesses the private server will be reflected in you."

"You are no longer responsible for Leoz's own fate - but the fate of all those who believed in you, followed you, and died for you."

"You will no longer be alone, but you will also bear their suffering. You will watch their death leave pain on your body, you will grit your teeth, scream and transfer your life to the dead, and bring them back from the abyss."

"Everyone has original sin. In order to prolong their lives, they demand from nature and plunder raw materials from the Endless Star Abyss to maintain their lives - but mortals do not need to atone for this."

"No matter what crimes people have committed, or what sufferings they have endured, even if it means death, the [Redemption Fairy] will bear it for them."

"This is Leanding, this is the path to redemption, this is the meaning of [Redemption of the Fairy]."

"Sir Leoz, if you can bear this hardship, your achievements will be witnessed."

Silverston stared at Leoze:
"Are you ready?"

There was a deafening knock in response.

clang!
[Blacksmith] [Hammer of Hephaestus]

Without any unnecessary nonsense, Li Oz's attitude was already clear.

Use this authority from the Earth's parliamentarians to strike a decisive blow for the creation of the Xingyuan artifact!
clang!
First, a strong and dazzling radiation splashed in all directions, piercing through the bodies of those who approached. Then there was the turbulent impact of high-energy particles. The most primitive and pure physical blow changed the properties of the material, and the compact particle structure oscillated rapidly and silently, rearranging itself.

Clap!

A strong wind blew above the first-order town, and the world wailed in anxiety. The birth process of this mythical creation actually caused damage to Jingyuan's universe.

Jing Yuan's will opened its invisible eyes and used its supreme thinking to detect the entire universe, but it could not find where the pain was.

It was confused and horrified at the same time. Almost in an instant, all the Fengqing demigods received the task of investigating the pain.

It's just that now the demigods are too busy fighting with Hidden to pay any attention.

In this strange excitement and calm, Li Oz wielded the non-existent hammer, striking and forging the heart again and again.

Fire swirled from his hands and aether filled his veins, his mind and soul completely infused with the mastery of power.

Feel the subtle deformation and appreciate the delicacy of the material, allowing it to grow naturally like flesh and blood.

It sounds simple, but after actually trying it, Li Aozi found that the process is extremely difficult and if you are not careful, the materials will be damaged.

And this heart is the only one in the world.

——I can do it.

"Eh?"

Fu Shen was stunned and looked around:

"Who's talking?"

——We can do it.

Silverston stared ahead.

He could clearly see that when Li Oz was concentrating on forging, tall, armored, calm-looking earthlings appeared behind him and talked to Li Oz.

He could understand English and could hear the whispers of the Earthlings communicating with each other.

“He has a warm heart and that has never changed.”

"I can sense that, despite his humble origins, he has the same spirit as Sharptooth Peak."

"What do you mean by humble origins? ... Every generation of [blacksmiths] was selected from workers, students, farmers and soldiers."

"That's right. We look down on those bureaucrats and nobles who sit in offices high up and never come to the front line."

"A man is like forged iron, tempered into steel, and a heart like steel, unyielding."

These people... are the [Blacksmiths] of past generations?
Silverston looked at them in surprise, but those [Blacksmiths] seemed not to see him, the once high and mighty God of Plunder.

One of them was a blacksmith, who was of burly build, with a sword made of mountain copper hanging from his waist, goat horns on his head, and was taciturn. Silverston was deeply impressed by him.

Because that guy was the first generation [Blacksmith], who once led his troops to invade the [Plundering Universe], but was eventually defeated and repelled by Leoz, and was even killed by Leoz himself.

But even when facing his enemy, the first generation [Blacksmith] looked at Li Oz with great satisfaction.

All their attention was focused on Li Oz, the cannon fodder god, who was struggling to control the forging.

"He is truly a natural forger. I have never seen anyone so talented. This is his first time using the Hammer of Hephaestus, and he is a Xingyuan person, but he can achieve this."

"Li Aoz, he is a true blacksmith, and he has mastered the art of forging without any teacher."

"Even if he is not from Earth... so what? As long as he sticks to his original intention, such a talent will be a meaningful person no matter where he is or in which society."

"Everyone, I recognize him as the new Sharptooth Peak."

"agree."

"Seconded."

Xingyuan, a cannon fodder god with no talent, only destined to die.

In the eyes of the high and mighty congressmen in Hidden Secret, he is a genius that appears only once in a thousand years, and he deserves recognition even from alien races.

"A new generation of Sharptooth Peak, all the restrictions on you have been lifted - hammer and forge the world to your heart's content."

Without much exchange of words, they reached out and placed their hands on Li Oz's shoulders.

The first generation [Blacksmith] stepped forward in person, but Lioz didn't see him and continued forging with all his might.

“Don’t be afraid of the long road ahead and the many obstacles ahead.”

The Blacksmith said to Li Oz, placing his hand on the back of his hand:
"We are blacksmiths, using fire and blade to clear the weeds from the world. Great miracles are forged by our own hands."

"I hereby declare that the use rights of [Blacksmith] Li Oz have been lifted."

Li Oz suddenly relaxed, and the process of controlling the power became extremely skillful, but he had no time to care about these things. He just repeated the forging and concentrated all his energy on it.

--etc!
Silverston's eyes widened.

What is being done now is not only forging, but also repairing the defective parts.

Li Oz did not simply follow the route he planned. Some designs that Silverston thought were not technically sufficient and were therefore not adopted became reality in Li Oz's hands.

"He really gets it right away."

The [Blacksmith] of each generation said with relief.

"If it's him, he should be able to make it to the final reforging stage."

"Just the final reforging? I think he can recreate the heyday of [Fresh Iron King] Karakia."

"You were born into the wrong world, but it doesn't matter. You have broken the shackles with your own hands - right, Loki?"

The first generation [Blacksmith] Loki seemed to notice the sight, and suddenly turned his head and looked at Silverston.

The two people who were once enemies no longer had any hatred in each other's eyes.

Even after looking at each other for a moment, they both smiled at the same time.

Clang clang clang.

"Hey, God of Xingyuan."

[Blacksmith] Loki knocked on his breastplate three times, then faced Silverstone and pointed at Lioz:

"Take good care of him. This is the inheritance of our spirit and also your treasure—"

Ding!
A clear sound brought Silverston back to reality.

He wiped away the pink-blue gel from the corners of his eyes, and Silverston immediately reacted: the overly strong vitality of Leanding's Heart allowed some dead beings to briefly appear.

"inherited."

He whispered.

Then he raised his head and looked forward: Li Oz slowly raised his hand, and a complete and exquisite porcelain heart fell into his palm. The power of redemption emanating from it immediately swept away his fatigue.

"Fu Shen, Silverston, my system is broken, can you help me check the properties?"

The two looked at their hearts, and lines of information quickly appeared on the system panel:
------------

[Item Name]: Heart of Redemption
【Category】：Replacement organ/heart
[Quality]: "Mythical Creation"

【Attributes】:
Max HP increased by 500%
No more physical exertion during exercise, and your senses will never get tired
Fairy: Each time you enter combat, you are immune to the first 10 negative effects and damage you receive.

[Heart Exclusive]: Any attack that cannot clear all your health points at once will be considered a non-weakness attack. The continuous damage will be reduced by 90% every second. Every 1% of the excess damage reduction will be converted into a proportional healing and shield enhancement effect.

【Introduction】:
"【Redemption Fairy】, He is the source of all warmth and courage. He sacrificed himself for the working people of Xingyuan and left behind the last flame of his life."

This is deceptive.

Lei Anding hated his fate. He hated the will of Xingyuan that treated him as a breeding factory. He had no power to fight and had never taken anyone's life, but countless people died because of his decisions and childbirth.

Over time, perhaps even Lai Anding himself has become numb.

Whether before or after the war, Leandin seemed to have been created just to suffer.

His flesh and blood atrophied, and his life and nutrition were supplied to the world, but because of this, he gained power second only to one person and above ten thousand people. Now he even has power over the government and has completely become the master of Origin.

But is this what Leanding wanted? No one knows.

Even though he hated his fate so much, Lai Anding could not resist.

Is it because power is too tempting, or is it because He does not have the courage to fight against fate?
No, perhaps the fundamental reason is that He is just too kind and benevolent.

This is not pure mercy, but He cannot bear to watch the life He has nurtured being killed and destroyed. However, due to fate, He must take responsibility for everything in Xingyuan.

If you have committed a sin, just go ahead and ask for forgiveness from Leandin.

The merciful Mother Goddess will shed her blood to atone for the sins of believers.

He has many responsibilities: marriage, love, maternal love, kindness, forgiveness, reproduction... but in the end, His throne is still [salvation].

Because he has taken on so many sins, Leanding never takes his own pain to heart. He has become numb to the pain, but cannot accept the fact that he must take on the sins of others.

Under such torture, perhaps, the one who really needs redemption is not mortals, but Leanding himself.

Or maybe death is the best salvation for those who have made mistakes.

【Equipment requirements】:
Race limitation: Xingyuan natives

"It's finally done, Your Majesty Leoz, congratulations on obtaining the artifact. This is something only you can do."

"No problem... This is a true mythical creation, a god-level power. Such properties are rare even among divine tools. It turns out that only god-level materials can forge it."

Facing the satisfied compliments from the two, Li Oz shook his head:

"No, it's not done yet."

The next moment, he tore open his chest, shattered his heart, and then stuffed the [Heart of Redemption] into his body, placing it in its original position.

With the combination of blood and flesh, new arteries were quickly formed and the wound was healed.

The process was so quick that the two people next to him didn't react in time.

By the time they reacted, a powerful force of redemption had already erupted from Lioz's heart, peeling off his original flesh and blood piece by piece, and then quickly regenerating it.

“Ugh…Ughhhhhhhhh!”

Li Oz growled, suppressing the pain of the transformation.

This is different from past mutations or life level advancement, and even different from the transformation of life races by the etheric blood.

But that doesn't matter.

The Heart of Redemption gave birth to dense tentacles and blood vessels, which penetrated into his flesh, blood, nerves and veins, allowing him to use the source of life force like the gods on the path of [Redemption].

As the blood began to flow freely, new lines of information appeared on the system panel in front of Li Aoz:

----------

[You have equipped the Xingyuan mythical creation, which has produced irreversible effects]

[The Heart of Redemption is now bound to you, and your life level has been fully sublimated.]

[The system hot patch update is complete, but the main system has not been repaired yet, only part of the update content is displayed]

"Redemption Protoss" - Those who equip this item are regarded as Redemption Protoss of the Origin Protoss, and gain the corresponding posture and divine power.

Their perception and understanding of life even far exceeds that of Leviathandar, the [Gem Dragon King] who brought the concept of "life".

Unlock the Godly Stance: Redeem Leoz

"Xingyuan Server Terminal Architecture" - After equipping it, you will be regarded as linked to the main server of the "Xingyuan" game and obtain Class B permissions. If you are proficient in the skills of "Architect", you can build a private server in your body. After overwriting the root directory data of the original server, you will no longer be regarded as an official player, but a private server owner.

You can set up a player resurrection mechanism in a private server, but every time a player dies, it will cause you both mental and physical damage, and you will clearly feel the pain of death.

You can set the player's skills, experience gain, damage multiplier, and damage reduction multiplier data in the name of the server owner.

You can add/kick any private server player into/out of your team and private server at any time.

"Xingyuan Player Domain Name Hijacking" - By hijacking the domain name of players in a defenseless state, attacks are launched on game servers, causing others to be disconnected, tampering with server data, stealing game intelligence, and unlocking hidden content.

Physical immunity
Magical Immunity
Speed ​​reduction exemption

Curse immunity
Control exemption
At the end, a healing nova is released to restore 40% of the maximum health of all friendly units on the battlefield.

"Until the Other Side of Death" - Once every natural day. When all the deaths of your own units are exhausted, they will return to the battlefield as the Knight of the Underworld, gaining the blessing of the Underworld's aura, increasing their output rate by 25% for 15 minutes, and they will not die during this period.

"In the Name of the Spiritual Deer" - If there is love in your heart, it can trigger miracles. No matter how your ideology changes, you can gain the romantic characteristics.

Romantic Bonus: For every 1% critical hit rate, the critical hit damage is increased by 10%. When your attack is critical, the next attack and skill will definitely cause a critical hit. After a critical hit, increase your critical hit rate by 1%.

----------

"Endless Star Abyss! This is simply unheard of. The origin of the Star Abyss God Clan can actually be changed later. This is simply, simply..."

Facing the situation in front of him, Fu Shen couldn't help but take a breath:

"…Your Majesty Leoz, you are right."

Clap!

The platinum tentacles continued to whip the earth, and the roar of primordial life echoed throughout the underground studio. The oppressive feeling of pure wildness fell heavily on the shoulders of everyone present.

Silverston and Fu Shen felt uneasy just staying here, and the latter had to wear a gas mask. The overly powerful life force in the air was eroding their bodies all the time.

Yes, although the path of salvation is known for healing life, but what is life?

A living organism is composed not only of body and soul, but also of basic cells and a large number of bacteria.

When the life force becomes concentrated to a certain level, it will cause the bacteria and microbial symbionts in the body to multiply rapidly. Some originally harmless viruses can repeat tens of millions of generations in an instant. If the body's cells multiply and divide too quickly, they will be catalyzed by the life force to decay and die if one is not careful.

But it was nothing compared to what they saw.

Fu Shen whispered:

“It’s only now that it’s complete.”

Deep in the room filled with flowers, which had been transformed into a greenhouse garden by the abundant life force, a pair of deep blue eyes suddenly lit up.

The next moment, accompanied by an even more intense burst of life force, the dark blue gradually turned into a strange pink.

"From the Art Protoss, to the Redemption Protoss... This is totally against common sense. Even the summoned bodies that Fu Shen and I used in the game would return to their original form when they transformed into Protoss forms."

Silverston held his chin:

"Or maybe the cannon fodder gods are actually a blank slate and can accept any power?"

"Iron ore is fragile and soft. Only after it is baptized and forged by deep water and fierce fire can it become steel. If Chaos is the fierce fire, then the bodies of the cannon fodder gods are slightly stronger than ordinary Protoss warriors from the beginning. Then the experience accumulated through fighting all the way and the tolerance of the godhood are the deep water."

godhead?

Silverston was startled.

The normal Xingyuan God Clan has four important components: Godhead, God's throne, God's power, and God's kingdom.

The reason why the evil gods have a lower status is that when they were demoted, their godhood was artificially polluted. This greatly reduced their quality, making it difficult for them to contain divine power and maintain their divinity. But even so, the evil gods still have these things, and the division is also very clear. Just because you were a destroyer god before being demoted, you will not become a dominant god after being demoted.

But the cannon fodder gods have none of these.

Once upon a time, Leoz only had the divine authority and throne of the [God of Reality], and it could even be said that he inherited Releti's kingdom of God, but because he had no godhead, none of these could be activated.

Precisely because they have nothing, in fact, the cannon fodder gods only have the appearance of normal gods, and do not even have the classification and path of gods.

In other words, although Leoz was born into the Esperanto clan, he actually just looked like an Esperanto clan member and did not have any racial characteristics at all.

if it is like this……

Silverston raised his eyebrows, and a crazy idea came to his mind.

——In addition to the Redemption God Clan, can other God Clan also be transformed through similar means? !

"Then the problem will become serious."

Originally, the Zhenwu Party's slogan was nothing more than to unite ordinary slave laborers and cannon fodder gods.

But now, if Leoz can prove that cannon fodder gods and normal gods can transform into each other.

Then, not only the origin of the narrative structure, but also the original national cultural construction will be shattered.

Cannon fodder can actually be transformed into normal Protoss? Then what are the original Protoss warriors? It's just because Leanding trained them early.

Silverston didn't even have to think about what kind of impact Yuan Yuan's profound class concepts would suffer at that time.

"Sir Leoz, I suddenly realized why the people of Earth admire you so much."

From the perspective of the people on Earth, this would be a fatal blow to Yuan Yuan, and it might even kill him.

But does it matter?

From the moment Lioz gave up compromise, only one of the two factions could survive, the corrupt old regime or Lioz's faction.

The Source Alliance is eager to eliminate the [social] invaders, drive out the Earth colonists, and even demand to attack the Earth for equal revenge.

In pursuit of maintaining the Mandate of Heaven and the old order, the old regime of Yuanyuan would rather sit down and jointly colonize and control the people of Xingyuan with [society].

There is no right or wrong, no distinction between justice and evil between the two. Both sides do not care about their own little happiness. When it comes to progress, both sides seem to be less advanced and civilized than the people on Earth in the [Secret Society].

But war is never sacred.

This is a complete battle for Xingyuan’s grand narrative.

At worst, if we lose, we'll end up with a warlord rebelling.

If we win, it will be a glorious revolution.

——It was you, Lai Anding, who started it first, so you can’t blame us for retaliating in kind.

"According to the forum, Xu Kefu's team is heading towards the first-order town. At the current speed, it will arrive here in about 17 hours."

Fu Shen suddenly became nervous and said:
"Laian Ding may have noticed something, but he is still in the search phase. If we move now, we don't have enough time... How can we pack up more than 40 Zhenwu Party members and hired workers, plus all the baggage, and head to the Submerged Abyss in one go? It will take at least hours at the fastest."

"Then we won't move. Let's take the initiative and attack."

Silverston's eyes fell on Li Oz, who was constantly panting and adjusting to his new body:
"Let's go, Lord Leoz. Before we leave the Abyss, let's go give those cheating players a little private server shock!"

Ever since the advent of electronic games, there have been constant conflicts and wars between the three groups: lightweight cheaters, private server owners, and professional fish-frying players.

Today, the hackers are killing the young ones, tomorrow the server master will violently shut down the server, and the day after tomorrow, the professional guys will be furiously grabbing French fries. The fights have always been hard to decide.

Now, it’s time to prove to the green players who is the real winner among these three.
